Overview

About

Maintained by Carolina VasconcelosFirst published 2021-11-083 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides routines to estimate the Mixture Transition Distribution Model based on Raftery (1985) http://www.jstor.org/stable/2345788 and Nicolau (2014) doi:10.1111/sjos.12087 specifications, for multivariate data. Additionally, provides a function for the estimation of a new model for multivariate non-homogeneous Markov chains. This new specification, Generalized Multivariate Markov Chains (GMMC) was proposed by Carolina Vasconcelos and Bruno Damasio and considers (continuous or discrete) covariates exogenous to the Markov chain.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("GenMarkov", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-genmarkov

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-GenMarkov

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-GenMarkov

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
